The full Worm Moon is about to pass through Earth's shadow, producing a total lunar eclipse visible from North and South America. This time-tagged animation shows how the Moon will turn red during the 90-minute event:
In the Pacific time zone, the eclipse straddles the midnight divide between March 13th and 14th. Further east, it happens entirely during the early hours of March 14th. For a local movie, pick your own time zone: UTC, EDT, CDT, MDT, PDT.
What makes the eclipsed Moon turn red?
A trip to the Moon provides the answer.
Imagine yourself standing on the lunar surface looking up at the sky. Overhead hangs Earth, hiding the sun behind it. The eclipse is underway.
You might expect Earth to be utterly dark, but it's not. The rim of the planet looks like it is on fire.
As you scan your eye around Earth's circumference, you see every sunrise and every sunset in the world--all at once. This incredible light beams into the heart of Earth's shadow, painting the Moon sunset red.
Red isn't the only color. There's also turquoise, shown here in a photo taken by Jens Hackman during an eclipse in March of 2007:

Its source is ozone. During a lunar eclipse, some of the light illuminating the Moon passes through Earth's ozone layer. Ozone absorbs red light and actually makes the passing light ray bluer. This can be seen as a soft blue fringe around the red core of Earth's shadow.
To catch the turquoise on March 13-14, look during the first and last minutes of totality. The turquoise rim is best seen in binoculars or a small telescope.
Keep your eyes to the sky!

I would be remiss as a watcher if I didn't relay the information going on throughout the Christian community of watchers - that very small group of Bible believing Christians, myself being included, who "love His Appearing" that is, to take us up in the Rapture of the church BEFORE the great tribulation.
This Blood moon is just another indicator of many that He could come at any minute. There is much excitement and much calculation that this Passover season will be the LAST and will be THE time in which God sends His Son Jesus to get His "Bride". There is much stirring among those within this group called "watchers" that the spring feast 2025 will be the time so very anticipated and so patiently awaited and that we have mere WEEKS left on this planet and in these mortal bodies.
I can't say that I am as sure of this as many within my circle, because I have hoped like this many times over several years of late and have been disappointed so I am expecting this time to come and go as it always does, leaving those waiting to continue their wait. I believe this because Jesus said Himself, "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Matthew 24:24 If He is coming at a time when we are thinking He isn't coming, how can we predict the time? I say this for the reason that some are saying they've narrowed down the day, that being March 16, 2025. I will expect Him anytime before or after that date but just by someone naming it marks it as a date that He will NOT come.
Bottom line is that He is coming very soon. He told us - we who watch - we will not be surprised when He comes, because we have been watching for Him and however we scrutinize the signs of these times and Bible prophecy we are most definitely in the SEASON of His coming. And we have never been this close before! He WILL come (just to the clouds; He will not place His foot on this earth yet however He will 7 years later, after the great tribulation) and we WILL disappear after which complete chaos will ensue. It is this never-before-seen chaos that will allow those working on a one world government (which we now see crashing all around us) to pull the plug on EVERYTHING.
There is a climate of big change in this world right now and that change will occur after the Rapture. Anyone who denies this has their eyes closed to Bible prophecy and the entire zeitgeist of this age, the END of this age - the age of Grace. If you have ever thought about seeking God by reading about Him in the Bible, NOW is the time. The time has come for you!
Read the Holy Bible (the KJV) in the book of Romans. You have no excuse. The Bible can be downloaded into your phone in seconds and if you don't have a phone, they sell the KJV Bible at the Dollar Tree for $1.25. Get a stack of them and give them out before they're pulled from the shelves. That time is coming quickly. Get saved by calling upon the Name of Jesus Christ and truly desiring in your heart of hearts to KNOW Him and to know the truth and He will save you and you also will be among those who will very mysteriously (to the world) disappear into thin air VERY SOON.
I have been sounding this warning for FOUR years now on this substack (and throughout cyberspace). The time is coming when you will never hear from me again and, if you have been reading my posts, you'll know why! But you still have a chance to go with us!!! Please! I'm begging you who are reading this! You have literally ALL THINGS to gain and NOTHING to lose. Call on Him RIGHT NOW!!! All who have been washed of their sins by His Shed Blood will go up to be with Him. Could it be tonight?
Thanks for the info on the lunar eclipse - very interesting. Now, if I can just drag myself out of bed at 2:00 a.m. . .
